The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it
was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the
first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and
farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists
and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original
texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly
contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various
